The Wisconsin-born architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s designs are sprinkled throughout the Milwaukee area. The legendary designer’s work in his home state consists of a mix of Usonian residences (innovative Prairie-style designs) and American System-Built Homes, built for the working class.
Out of the latter project came draftsmen like Russell Barr Williamson, who—after Wright pulled the plug on the concept in 1917—branched out on his own.
One such design by Barr Williamson went on the market in Shorewood, WI, in early July. With its pedigree, the home in the village bordering Milwaukee to the north had no problem finding an interested buyer.
Built in 1923, the 1,600-square-foot home offers three bedrooms and one bathroom and sits just four blocks west of the Lake Michigan shoreline and a public beach.
Best of all? It has only had two owners over the past century. Listed for $399,900, the home sold over asking, at $415,000, late last week to its third steward.
It spans two levels, and the first floor includes two bedrooms and the home’s lone bathroom. On the top floor is a third bedroom—and the most spacious of the three.
